Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has truly nasty stuff, with an arsenal that includes mid-90s heat, a curveball, change-up and occasional slider. Especially tough on right-handed hitters.
Flaws
  • Prone to lapses in command and starts to struggle beyond 30 pitches. Needs to improve his approach with runners aboard.
Career Potential
  • Solid setup man.
